No, I don't want your golden Cartier watch. In fact, I don't want any Cartier watch, prescription drug that will boost my... err, self esteem or a size 0 waist. And I'm assuming you don't either. Lucky for you, Lifehacker has released a variety of ways to block those ads... forever.
One of the best ways to block Internet ads is a handy Firefox add-on called Adblock Plus. If you haven't yet installed Adblock Plus, you're in for an insane treat. A few tips using Adblock Plus?:
1. Right-click on any banner and choose "Adblock" from the context menu so that the banner won't be downloaded again.
2. Replace parts of the banner address with star symbols to block similar banners as well.
3. Select a filter subscription when Adblock Plus starts up the first time. From then on, the filter subscription will block most advertisements automatically. by Erin Loechner (RSS feed) on Sep 11th 2009 9:00AM Filed under computers and internet
How to Block Internet Ads
Ever been annoyed by all those ads and banners on the internet that often take longer to download than everything else on the page? Install Adblock Plus now and get rid of them. Right-click on a banner and choose “Adblock” from the context menu — the banner won’t be downloaded again. Maybe even replace parts of the banner address with star symbols to block similar banners as well. Or choose a filter subscription, then even this simple task will usually be unnecessary: the filter subscription will block most advertisements fully automatically.
